THE DONATION RARTV, ars title 'all we've got for dinner tu said Alice May, rather dolefully. 66 /net it enough ?" retorted, Phoebe, - her sister. The dining -room. in Exbrook Parson- age trait unmistakably shabby. It was bad enough whenothe friendly gloom of a rainy day concealed its short -comings in some degree, But on a dear, uncom- promising October noon like this, the cruel sunshine revealed each crack lathe ceiling, every worn spot in the carpet, like a inagnifying glass. And really there was some occasion for the doleful glance with which Allot; regarded the table. There was the ex- treme shank bone of a ham boiled into rags, a few slices . of cold beef, some -baked potatoes, and a custard whioh certainly had not been rendered, indi- gestible by too much richness of mater- ial. There were remains of yesterday's; stew, half a cold apple pie, and a plate of &Ie.:mule pickles; and around this meal gathered four little Mays, with -ravenous eyes, while George, the eldest brother, who had been doing some ams. -teur whitewashing, was making ahasty. toilet ontin the sink'-romn, and the two grown sisters superintended, the banquet. Mr. May WAS engaged:en the 66 Fifthly" of his next Sunday 's • sermon, and his wife was at a neighbor's house helping to nose a cross old crone'who had went out everybody's- patience but hers, "Enough, 1 5uppose,". Bei& Alice, "but—not very appetizing, •Now, is ?" • "Poor folks have no lividness to ex- pect appetizing food," said Phoebe, shortly. - "In fact ,I don't know that theyy have - any business to live at all Geoffrey, take your fingers ,out of the Sugar -bowl. Lizzie, sit up straight." "Why, Phoebe, whars.the matter ?" said Alice, gently, moving the bowl of saccharine grains out of Geoffrey's readt, and helpingto perpendioularize the small i Lizzie n her chair. • "Oh, I don't know," said Phoebe "I'm cross." "No need to tell us that," dryly, ob- serted George', seating himaelf, "It is one of the very few facts patent to all observers. Where's father ?" "It's that donation party," said Phoebe, with an impatient backward toss of her mane of auburn hair, • "Eh said George. • "I hate donation parties V" cried out Phoebe, recklesidY carving the -ham into • unctuous shaving,. "I think them an insult to people. There I", „ George whistled; Alice milled; the children all all stared. - Ifthey Want to do father a favor," ‘, went On Phoebe, breathlessly, loading up the children's plates' with all sorts of incongruous materials,- 46 why don't they, pay him his salary, instead of letting it run behind? Why don't they •repair • this dismal hotel Of a parsonage, and stop the church chimney from smoking, • and do what they ought to do? Who wants Mrs. Pye to bring =us a crochet tidy, and Squire Basset to sort out all his damaged beans for our benefit, and Sarah Jones to work horrible pen -wipers for ne ? We're not Objects of charity yet, are we ?" "Hush, Phoebe !" soothed Alice. Ire the custom, ale," said George. "1 can't say I quite uphold it. myself, _ but—hush! here cornett the pater." Mr. May was a mild old gentleman With a bald head and spectacles, who sat down to his meal in an absent sort of way, as if his mind was somewhere in Syro-Phoenicia. The children might have safely continued their discussion; he would have been none the wiser. Phoebe May was twenty years . old. . Shelves not a beauty; nor was she re- markably talented; but she had a round; fresh face with hazel eyes, and warm, red:brown hair; and there was a dui of practical. common. senie. in her make-up. - - Alice was the family bekuty—a pink- - and-whiteDresden china little creature —and in that commonsensical mind of hers Pheebe had it fully settled that Alice wss to make a brilliant match, • and that she, Phoebe, was to ;tattle down into the iron -gray Monotony of old • maidism. • _ But, in life's deal there were some 'things that she 'Would have liked differ- ent, and this intending donation party weighed very heavily on her sod, It -was supposed to be ,a surprise to• , the minister and his wife. Alice, - Phoebe, and George had, however, been let into the secret, as a sort of necessary preliminary. "1 wish, tisaid Alice, thoughtfullt, "that Mrs. Outfield- would think to give us a new sitting -room carpet. Ours is. worn through to the very boards of the floor; and she has just recarpeted her house with real Bilis- ' sels." "She will give you a bunch df paper roses you will see, " scornfully- retorted Phoebe. - - 61 The Pyes are ricb,," said George. "The mother Would appreciate a sew- ing -machine from Mrs. Pye, now would- n't she?' Phoebe shrugged her shoulders. f! I can tell exactly what Mrs. Pya in- tendate give us,' said she, • 'One of those • book -marks that her grand- daughter worked—or a spatter -work tidy. Oh, George, if you only knew how I hate all this V' - she had ;tent half a dozen of home man- • ufacture. •- • Harry Balkan was a tall, straight young man; with eyes blacker than any sloe, and& quiet, earnest way.with him. He came in with a:bag over his shoulder. .Phoebe eyed him antagonistically. t" Well r said she. "'You're going to have .6 - donation party h. ere to -night, they tell -.-me .slid dt ymen There Was a warning flash in Phoebe's. eyes. .• • "1 thought r would come in , early —before the commotion began," said he. , • "The 0 -commotion is here now,"- - said she.

"Phoebe," said he, "you are a little vixen! Won't you hear me out ?" "It is buckwheat floir?" saiciPhoebe, indignantly. eyeing the bag, 66 or is ib black-eyed beans? Because we've got a great uleaty of both, thank you all. the same.' - • "The hag isn't intended for you," said Harry. ,"It is on its way to Doctor Bruce, full of caatoroil seeds. I could- n't put Mir offering in a bag nor pack. it in a hex. It's too big." • - - "Nobody wants your offering 1" sput- tered Phoebe. ...- Harry put down the bag on a °hair, and took both Phoebe's hands in his, • "Are you quite sure of that ?". .aid he. "Dear little Phoebe, don't look so cross at me; I came here to offer you myself, and I don't propose to go away until you have said either yes or no. I know you are cross; but I can't lidp risking% -a Phoebe. I can't live ny i longer n suspense. I like you, in -spite of all the scolclings you give me—and I want to marry you. Come, Phoebe, is it yes or .no ?" Phoebe blushed redder than any rose. She made an instinctive movement to slip out of the room; but Harry - inter-:, cepted her, and placed his back com- posedly against the door, "It's Squire Dobly," gasped Phoebe, "with a gallon can of kerosene oil 1", , "1 don't care if it was a cargo of dynamite 1" said Harry. . "Is it Yes ' "I must let him in," pleaded Phoebe. "Is it No ". ?" "And there is Dr. Gibbon's gig, With e bundle ef biOom-corn and a basket .of 'Hubbard equashes ! „ Do, let .me go, 1111"yofone ste-p, 66N'until my' fate: is de- cided 1" • • - • ' • 'Phoebe darted a shy glance at him from under her long lashes. Apparent - she was meditating a rebellion; but a •-second fusilade of persistent knuckles at the door decided the -question. "They will knock in the panels 1" said she. "Yea, Harry—yes J only let me open the door'!" But even then Harry did not suffer her to open the door until he had taken a very deliberate and satisfactory kiss. -" You are is little darling r said he. "And I knew I should.conquet you, in time." -• • The squire and the - doctor - came1n, but Harry had taken himself and hie bag of castorioil- beans off through an open window. • - "Anything wrong about the fasten- in's o'• this 'ere door 1" said, the ;squire gruffly. . • • "I—T Couldn't get the barrel of pies out of the way,?"said 'Phoebe,- color- ing very red. • ' The Donation Party came Wang:Aleut- ly off that night; • Apples and salt pork, patch -work gents and macrame tidies arrived in dueproportion. The mini- ster made a speech of thanks. -His wife wondered how mob would bleft of her best china and .well-worn carpets bet, fore the company was gone. But through it all Phoebe seemed to walk on rose-colored clouds. Nothing put her out. All the irritation was gone from her heart; and Alice, watching her with a smile, said 'to herself: "Dear Phoebe! So, it has come at last The Enchanted Prince has rid- den up to the castle gates to set her free. I am se glad.", * • Fruit as a Food. • . What shall we eat? The queation confronts us daily. Upon its wise solu- tion depends, t� a greet extent, ----the health and happiness of the human race.. A judicious dietary isanevidence -of a • high state of civilization for brain and brawn are in a .general sense the outcome of the kinkof food eaten its method of preparation, and the styfe in which it is served and introduced into the human 'economy. Americans are a little astray in the matter Of diet. The average table is a strange mixture of English; Dutch, 14 rench and everything else besides. There seems to be a strong tendency in human nature towarde the consump. tion of food that is toe concentrated. The old Indian cidef complained that he pale faces, especially women were dying of too much house. .• The modern wilized world is dying of too -much at. - - - Some people are afraid to eat. fruit, hinking that fruit and diairlues are al- ways associated, when; if they, under tood the true 0111180 Of diarrhma they would know that it is caused- by eating meat.

Mrs. Darling sent a tug,of, c molasses, Deacon Brower brought a bag e ogi hickory mite (" as if the woods weren't full of them," said Phoebe, con- t temptuotudy), Josh; Fuller brought a yellow puppy, Miss Serra contributed a staring ehromo, the Widow Polewheal a bag of rancid hens' feathers, Billy Brawn a setting of duck's eggs. It was v planned to fill the back kitchen With a gifts of this nature, and to display them an at once to the wondering eyes of the t minister and his wife as &surprise. o ° "Sitter, sister t" piped little Lizzie g "here's a chair 1.

It has a definite. and important plebe in the ordinary diet of man and the wholesomeness of trait, bonibined with farinaceous food as an altitative dietary, is not so much an . argument In favor of. the vegetarian principle, as proof that -seasoni able changes n - food supply are helpful to the digestive pro - moue and 'to nutritive changes in the tissues generally. - . With proper eating and driiking, there would be fewer broken-down -ner- vous wrecks,and far more vigoroue intel- lects. There is far too much meat eaten. Meat three times a day is more than average town -dwelling litnnan nature can endure. Functional disturbances of the liver, gallstones, renartalculi diseate ' of the kidneys, dyspeptsie, headache, • fits of ill -temper or of the blues,,:irrit. ability, and general absence of the tiey of life are largely due t� sui-excessi of meat and other highly concentrated 'food. These conditions, like attacke ,of, gout and • dyspepsia are the unfortunate possestionof those who will have them. Ignorance of the law is no excuse,- What shall we eat? As a preliminary answer We reply—eat more - fruit. — Medical Clatsics. f • Some of Them Mistaken. - Rev. H. M. Eaton relates an incident that occurredin the early days of Maine Methodieinoyhich illustrates how easy it is for a min to imagine that his own in- clination is a manifestation of the Div- ine will. -In the days; :of - which Mr. Eaton wites, it - was ilie custom for young ministers to consult their presid- ing elders before taking a Wife. Once during a•camp.meeting in East- ern Maine, a young minister appriched the presiding elder and said he wished to be married, • I Whom do you proposi66to merry r asked the elder. 4 ; "Well," said the Young man, 66 the Lord has made known to me very clear- ly that I •should marry*, sister Mary Turner." • , "I know her .well," laid the !Icier, ".she is a fine girl. I Will see you•egain before the meeting closes.' .; During the Week four other young ministers conkulted the presiding. elder on thianbject of marriage.: Each Of them gave the name of tip young wo- man to whom he proposedto. offer They had all prayed over the matter a great deal, and each was - certain that it was God's desirethat heshould Marry the person named. %Apar of the five young men knew that any one else, had consulted the elder on that,subject.c On the last day Of thsl\ -comp. meeting, at noon, the elder called the ifive. young ministers to his tent to receive his opin- ion. He said: "Now, brethren, , it may be the will of God for you to marry, but it is not Hiswill th-at Ave Metho- dist ministers should marry that little sister Mary Turner." • About Silhouettes. '-There is a history attached to'r.- the word "silhouette." About the _ middl of the last century a man named Silhou- ette became Minister of State in Frapce. The treasury was in a very • low- condi- tion; and Sishouette was anxieties to bet- ter the national affairs,•'So he practised economy, and tried to induce `the King and court to be 'economical. • too. -But the King, Louis XV, had no intntien of reformation of any sort, and the . ex- travagance and cruelty of his time paved:the way for the horrors of i the. French Revolution which Citmeln the next reign. , - Silhouette became very 4 unpopular, and the courtiers /aughed at him and his plans. They pretended ito be eco- nomical.Snuff-taking was, feshioneble then, and some of the elegant snuff- boxes of that time are now 111 existence, preserved in museums or other _collec- tions of curiosities; beautiful- boxes . of gold or enamel set with precious -stones and ornamented with paintings, pretty `landscapes or. _portraits. In s order to burlesque Silhouette andhis economy some of the would-be witty ladies and gentlemen carried plain wooden boxes. To the same end, the gentlemen -.wore wets Very short, sometimes made with- out sleeves; and -instead of .exquisite portraits set in gilt frames' or minia- tures hung from gold chains and set-in diamonds, they grayely :presented to. their friends funny little : outljue por- traits, Mack profiles drawn, in solid blaek;Pr gut with ecislors 'from -Week cloth or paper. All these absurd fash- ions they called the "Silhouette style —everything was a la- 'Silhouette while the fun !aster'. •This was not very long, Poor Silhouette! his plans' made so un- popular, that he was glad to resign his officet and go into retirement.

During the Christian Endeavor n - Tendon at Chicago, one of the delegates, a young ,business man, • dressed- ia a • natty rough.and-ready suit, every Move- ment alert and eager and telling of the bottled energy within, came suddenly upon a red-faced citizen who s evidently had been patronizing the * hotel bar. Buttonholing the delegate a trifle un- ceremoniously, the latter said:.: "What are you, fellows- trying to, do down at the battery? You are hot on temperance, I see by the papers. Do You think you Could make a temperance man of me ?" - • t' •. "No," replied the delegate, looking him over from head to foot, with a keen glance slightly contemptuous, " we -evi- dently couldn't db much with you, but we are after your boy." At this unexpected retort .the Man : dropped his jocular tone and saik•seri- ously. 66 Well; X guess you have got the right of it there. If -somebody hattbeen. after me wheni was a boy I should be a better man to:day."
